SUNDAY MAILS AND TRAINS.

We find that some Of our citizens arc
conscien,ieusly opposed to trains rum
ming on Sunday Tor any purpose. We
respect their opiuionS, and will join
them IN any effort csl,ulated to bring
about strtctrr Observance Of the Sab
bath, but IN the face Of tho fact, that IN
this Christian land Of ours there arc
mail trains on almost every mad Of any
Importance every Sunday, II strikes us
that tho Christian sentiment Is not Sd-
verse to It or it would not DO SO. The
people OH the line Of tho c. Il G. II. II.
arc good people, we know, but II any
opposition has been made to them at
Greenwood or LaurenS or on other roads,
except in opposition to freight trains
aud Sunday excursions, we have not
heard Of it. II it should become ncccs-
sary for us to travel on Sunday, or re-
ccivc mail, there would be no moro harm
In going on the cars than on horseback
or in = buggy, or in receiving mails by
the same plan.
Those who receive Northern mails on
Monday are guilty Of the same shift
sin il be, rs they would BE- If the mails
were received here on Sunday and not
taken out until Monday morning early.
The only difference there il, they now
lie over at Columbia until Monday morn-
, ing, and in the other event at Newberry.
| There Is also mistaken idea among
some about Sunday newspapers. We
have had several to tell us that they
would not read = paper published on
Sunday, but thought nothing of taking
and reading Mondays paper. The tlif-
ference is, the Sundays is printed on
| Saturday night and the Mondays on
Sunday and Sunday night. The sug-
ge$tion made by lis for Sunday mails
and passenger train was only to kecr
ahrraSt with the Christian people in
other parts nf the South. and not for the
purpose Of having them guilty OF prac,
tice unknown in Christian lands. We
still think that Ncwberry is entitled tc
all the advantages enjoyed by Other
towns OF the State, and believe the
Greenville Railroad would do we'll tt
give the people who travel on Sunday
a choice OF routes, wko now go cSclu
sfrely over the A. i X. r. r., and il
this connection let us suggest that the,

has two trains day on the A. & X. AM

c. c. i A, and we might have two OF
this road. Let us have all the advan
tagcs enjoyed by other towns in tn,

We agree with the writer of that ror-
ton Of the Teachers Department. which
speaks OF and advocates the using ot
books written by Southern mon for the
schools Of the South. No greater mis-
take could be made than to feed the
children Of Southern parntagc upon
books written by Northern men, cs-
pccially history. However fair they
strive to express their ideas, there Is al
ways more or IS prejudice IL their
writings. TO read some histories Of the
United States found in the common
schools OF the country, without other
light, children would be led to believe
that their fathers were traitors and
that the cause which led them to take
up arms against the government was IN
mrightcous one. This Is wrong and
should never b. allowed. Tho South
is in the Union to stay, but she can
never allow her children to say by act,
word or deed that their parents were
not rs honorable and true men rs ever
stepped upon the soil OF America. Give
us Southern books, and let the South be
presented in its true form step by step
from the time our forcfathcr$ landed
here to this day. and this will Keep us
faithful 10 our people and country.
There is quite dittcrrncr in the man
ncr, which those who advocate a rcduc-
ton Of the tariff and surplus would
bring about this result. DR.. Pope, in q
letter TO the -4ngM&tu Chronicle OF the
salh uit., which We print to-day, ridiculcS
the idea offr<>e trade as discussed at the
recent free trade meeting III the Cooper
Union in New York, and endorses the
the position Of the Democratic party
which favors p tariff limited 10 the ne
ceS$ities OF the government economically Y
administered. He also iavorS reducing
the surplus. Mr.. Randall favorS modi.
iica,ion OF the duties OIL imports and a
radical aeducs ion of the Internal Reyc-
nue.. Capt. Dawson is in accord with
the majority OF the Democrats OF the
coun,r!, but is, il anything, more in
clined 10 free trade, and believes, IL We
are not mistaken in his position, that
there is more 10 DC gained by an alli-
ance with free traders than with pro.
lection Democrats Of the Randall school
The people want the tax taken off the
necessities and the bulk Of the revenua
raised by taxing luxurieS. In that DR.
Pope aud Mr.. Dawson agree. Mr.. Ran
dali and the -iugustd Chronicl< stand to
ton.

could find on the farm, and who was

Rumble bees make your clover seed.
1t is fact that strong nest Of humble
bees in a large Glove field is worth $50
to the owner; for these insects are the
chief agents in fertliz'ng the blossoms,

In Australia there are no humble bees

Hanged by u Single Hair.

An explanation Of the hanging of the
murderer, Waeie!awSkE AZ San Jose by
means Of single harris as follows The
gaslvws trap on which the condemned
stood had double doors, swinging from
frosn the center to both sides. These
doors, constituting the trap, were held
in position so as to form a part OF the
platform Of the gallows by spring bolt.
THIS bolt was sprung thus opening the
man. weighted trapby the falling Of
gesrteeu-p pound weight. This weight
was suspended by small cord, which
came up TO the rail on the gallows back
of the condemned. The cord, instead
of being at once and simply fastened,
was wound around a "barrel." This
"barrel" VAS lying in horizontal posi-
ton parallel with the rail, and held II
few inches above it by upright supports
at either end. The cord holding the
weight WY Wound around the barrel
until the resisting power of the friction
almost held the weight. This "almost
was arrived at by previous experiments,
until it was reduced to such fine point
that the additional strength of a single
hair WAS enough to suspend the weight +;
or more properly, prevent the cord from
slipping. One end Of the hair. was fas.
tened to the cord and the other end to
a screw driven in the barrel, When
the hair was cut the cord slip
ped around the barrel, the fourteen
pound weight dropped ten feet, sprinp'
ing the trap-bolt, aqd Wasielewsky shot
through the opening.
1t is said that Judge Beldon, who
tried Wasielewsky, suggested this pc
culiar scheme of retributive justice,
but the details were worked out by
Sheriff Branham. The hair that was
used came from lock of the murdered
womans hair.-.Son Francisco Buhetln
